We ended up spotting the Japanese fishing vessel just at sunset last night. We tried talking to them on the radio, but no response unfortunately. It would have been nice to talk with them and learn more about their activities. Still, it was nice seeing them, knowing we are not completely alone out here.

We just finished a delicious coleslaw salad lunch. The cabbage has held up very nicely. Our apple supply is also doing well. We moved almost all the apples into our outdoor nets which should help prolong their freshness even more. And we still have a nice supply of fresh tomatoes. Buying them completely green was a smart move as now they are just about ripe.

Today marks our two week anniversary of being at sea. It seems the second week went by faster than the first. Hopefully the third week will also go by fast enough. We are definitely looking forward to making landfall. Our friends on another boat who arrived about a month ago are waiting for us and keep emailing with tantalizing information about the islands.
